We're back, yes! Its time to throw spotlight on a special contributor, who has really set an example for others, and has been doing great, by translating tutorials into Spanish for Spanish users! He's also the founding member of NetBeans Dream Team. He's Aristides Villarreall Bravo, the Spanish hero, though he lives in Panama!Lets have a look at his recent contributions at Community Docs-

As we all know, Amit K. Saha was employed by Sun Microsystems, recently. Here comes another news about a contributor- Jay Mahadeokar, he's now in contract with Sun, and would take up his new role in his campus, as Sun Campus Ambassador.

GREAT!!!

Lets wish him luck, and as always encourage him to continue to contribute to this community. I hope he might bring a revolution to this community, with lots of new people from campus contributing either docs, or whatever they would like to!Best Wishes!

Yesterday night, we got 2 contributions (Spanish) by Diego E. Siva L., cool :D Still, 10 days to go (end of July), I am sure we are headed for another milestone, as we cross another- yes, we wrote 175 docs. Awesome guys within few months we have come a long way. Its your community after all, come, innovate and take us to 200 and beyond within next few weeks ;)

This week, James submitted an article at NetBeans Zone! Yea, we rocked the Dzone...With the power of 170 docs, numerous contributors and a gang of super humans...Well, the gang comprises of James, Amit and myself...

Just kidding, actually the real super heroes are the one's who share their knowledge, expertise of using NetBeans with the whole community! Just continue to do, what you are best at, and things would automatically fall in right place, at the right time!

I must admit, last one month is really been a great time for Spanish people. They won Euro 2008, French Open, Wimbledon...Now, its our own contributors, yes!

Aristides Villarreal Bravo, has again done a contribution for us, this time focus on Mercurial, and what a quality of snap's! They are really attractive, and if I guessed it right, he might be using Hardy Heron (Ubuntu-distro).

This month, we are slowly and steadily moving ahead, 5 contributions already done so far! Hey, you can have a documentation in your language, just write translated document of any existing documentation (exists in other language), OR write a new one, and write a comment over here, pointing to the wiki! You may contact us through our mailing list alias, as well...

Synchronization of changes after the import. NetBeans project created as a result of import keeps a reference to its Eclipse source. Any relevant change in Eclipse project (at the moment only classpath is monitored) is automatically propagated to NetBeans project during project opening or can be explicitly requested via project's popup menu (Synchronize With Eclipse). In future this may be extended to propagate changes done in NetBeans back to Eclipse

We have been planning for a sub-docs project for the past few days, and after the success of EclipseToNetBeans, its time to help our own community to migrate from older IDE's to present one...

I came across a Dzone article recently, where someone has shared his experience of migrating a 5.5.1 Java Application TO 6.1 IDE! He had some issues, within the positioning of the components, etc.

So, it would really good, if we could think on those lines and help such users to migrate from older IDE's to current IDE's, as NB IDE is the fastest developing IDE, so to keep pace with it, we also have to strive forward.

We were thinking of helping platform developers to migrate from the older to current version. We would like to have your suggestions, whether its fine to go with Platform OR should we consider more domains?

Hey,

This doesn't mean that we have stopped the other migration project, its still running and willing to get more contributions. So, what are you waiting for?

No need to be, its meant for Spanish NetBeans Users! ;-) I am just joking, actually in English, we say Latest Contributions! Yes, time has come again to update you about the latest from the Community Docs Program.

Also, there have been some more contributions over the past few days, post FY(07-08)!You may have a look at them, and as always you are the ultimate judges, so use the tutorials, tips and Tricks, FAQs and comment/suggest what ever you feel like?
